Former AC Milan chief executive officer Marco Fassone has said Cristiano Ronaldo was open to joining the Rossoneri before he completed a €112 million transfer to Juventus last summer.
Ronaldo's arrival from Real Madrid strengthened Juventus' grip on Serie A as they ran to an eighth successive Scudetto last season. However, Fassone told Sportitalia (h/t Goal's Sacha Pisani) the Portuguese also considered Milan.
The former club chief said: "The president wanted Cristiano Ronaldo, but the figures told us this was inadvisable. Ronaldo was open to evaluating the opportunity, as Milan are a famous club and there was enthusiasm around us.
